So I'm hoping for a little more help. The above guide worked perfectly the first time. Then there was an update to CM 12 so I wanted to try it out--not for me.
So now I want to go back to f2fs. I repeat the steps above and the rom flashes fine but i can't get the kernel to flash. It just boots me right back to twrp screen. I'm not sure what info to provide. There's no error. Any help is appreciated!

***Actually there is an error. When I attempted to format data in step 2 I get "E: Unknown MTP message type: 1" Hope that helps. And of course after rebooting it lets me flash the rom but not the kernel.

I'm not sure. Make sure the data really did format to f2fs and reboot after doing it, and check it again. Sometimes the partition didn't say f2fs after formatting it. Otherwise, maybe the update isn't compatible. I no longer have the hd, so I can't test it.

Appreciate the fast response. Thanks! But it was actually a very simple user error I caught. The last time I tried it I noticed when transferring the kernel back to the sdcard it was only 15 KB (should've been 4 MB). I just downloaded it again and it flashed. Racked my brain about an hour! I missed it because I was certain this was the same file I had used the first time so never considered it as a possibility. Sorry for the trouble.

So I love the cm 12 .1 but just wondering why it doesn't come pre rooted. Also play store tells me that some apps are not compatible with my device but then I Bluetooth those same apps from my phone to the Tate and the apps work fine and show that there installed when I go I the play store. So just wondering why it doesn't let me download them in the first place if everything is working fine?

Sent from my Amazon Tate using XDA Free mobile app

Can you upload the latest CM11 nightly to any download service, please? I'm going nuts looking for any download mirror, because the CM official links are broken right now :(

Your trying to use a modern app on Android 4.4! If you want new apps, use a version of Android that isn't 10 years old

    *** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! WHILE I TRY MY BEST TO PROVIDE WORKING KERNELS/ROMS, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS SOFTWARE OR ANYTHING I'VE WORKED ON SUDDENLY FRIES YOUR DEVICE. ***


    BEFORE YOU BEGIN MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A 2ND-BOOTLOADER AND TWRP 2.7.0.0 INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND CAN SEE THE BLUE LOGO DURING BOOTUP:

    Mirror 2: Download (Crackflasher)

    PLEASE BE SURE TO WIPE SYSTEM & DATA/CACHE (FACTORY RESET) BEFORE UPGRADING TO ANDROID 4.4.
    (It's the "Wipe" button and then "System" and then "Factory Reset" button in TWRP -- this does NOT clear your sdcard space)

    • [04/14] Kernel cleanup including bugfix for app-asec related APP crashes

    • [08/12] Temp. disable light sensor (due to recode of sensor driver)
    • [07/31] First CM10.2 build

    As you some of you may have noticed: I have a new job working with Linaro Mobile Group beginning 9/1/2014.

    This is a HUGE change in my professional career, and I want to be 100% focused on my current duties.

    This means, that I will be ending my support for the Kindle Fire devices as official CM maintainer.

    Over the next few weeks, I'll be working with CM to get a replacement dev to step in and continue updates / tweaks to the device.

    For more information:
    https://plus.google.com/111109372727398356624/posts/AtoJ3xLj35b

    Lastly, ending my support for the Kindles was a VERY difficult choice. My TODO list is long and extensive with plans for updates well into next year ... To not get around to really polishing many of these builds makes me a bit sad.

    BUT, this is where YOU (the community) can step in and make a difference. Continue to push these devices onward. I wish you all well.

    Hi Guys,

    I'm nearly finished debugging the KFire HD 7" CM12.0 build. It's pretty close.

    For those that are interested (and daring), I've pushed all of my work up to the CyanogenMod trees and you can run test builds of your own. Use at your own risk currently.

    Happy Holidays

    If you haven't seen the posting... the Kindle Fire HD's were accepted into CM's official repos and will begin receiving nightly updates once a repo name change happens. Probably another day or 2.

    Also, the first CM nightly will contain a bugfix for the apps which crash due to large libraries in /mnt/asec.

    Previously, users were reinstalling the app w/ TitaniumBackup to fix this issue.

    This affected many many apps and was in general a real hassle.
